MORKL
MORKL (Mette Marie Jensen Ørnstrup (voc, perc), Gorm Askjær (g), Olga Witte (p, synth). MORKL is a trio consisting of singer and percussionist Mette Marie Jensen Ørnstrup, guitarist Gorm Askjær and pianist and keyboardist Olga Witte. In intense, musical meetings, the three musicians have created their own musical universe, where beautiful timbres, crackling quiet moments collide with noise and violent outbursts. The music is performed with time to explore abstract soundscapes. The music is an experimental and modern tonal language, where the musicians draw both on their shared background in jazz, particularly the emphasis on improvisation, and on inspiration from modern compositional music, Ottoman classical music and Balinese gamelan. They perform both as a trio and with guests, as in Morkl#1.
